Formatting rules: http://docs.python.org/lib/module-time.html (strftime)

from datetime import *

# Print today's date:
today = date.today()
print "Today is: ", today.strftime('%B %d, %Y')

# Print tomorrow's date:
tomorrow = today + timedelta( days=1 )
print "Tomorrow is: ", tomorrow.strftime('%B %d, %Y')
